Social Design

Social Design is the process of design that examines social impacts of a product or service in its whole lifecycle.

Below you will find Knoend’s list of social design considerations and strategies – though there is often overlap, all of them have separate definitions and one application does not automatically equate another.

This is an evolving list and we welcome any feedback in updating/maintaining the list.
